I was in Germany with a group of martial artists teaching "street knife perform." When demonstrating an empty-handed with one of them, he tackled me and took me to the ground (This is no massive deal as when I do demo's I never let "courtesy attacks."

Now, as a bushcrafter, you may possibly say, “These are too large or too bulky or as well heavy,” or whatever. But I am searching for durability. I'm searching antique old timer knives for fighting, self-defensibly, and so I want a knife that is not going to break. And I believe all these knives have the traits of durability.

The year was 1969, and I was about to head to Fort Bragg for education just before shipping out to Vietnam. Prior to I left, my father handed me his Kabar Marine Corps knife that he used to fend off Axis troops throughout WWII. A man of couple of words, he just handed me his prized possession and told me it would present me with the very same protection it supplied him. Needless to say, the knife became my very best pal throughout my tour in Vietnam, saving my neck on a lot more than 1 occasion.
